Payroll Health Check

An overview of the ‘health’ of your payroll. It can seem like it’s working like clockwork each month, but we can make sure that everything has been set up correctly.

There are 8 core aspects to the health check and we will grade them with traffic lights so that you can see at a glance if there are any areas of concern or elements needing immediate remedial action.

Pension Scheme Audit

Our Pension Scheme Audit ensures that you continue to comply with The Pensions Act 2008 (Automatic Enrolment).

The results of our Audit will provide you with evidence that the scheme remains compliant with the legislation and where we detect non-compliance, we will suggest action points and a timetable for action, should any matters need addressing.

Payroll Audit

A deep dive into your payroll by our CIPP qualified experts. What’s correct, what could be done more efficiently, areas of concern and most importantly the fixes.

This is suitable for more complex payrolls and our team of experts can fully analyse every area of your payroll and we don’t need to be your provider to do this. If there are any areas of non-compliance we can help you understand what needs to be done, any costs involved and either work as consultants with your existing provider, or recommend a future proof plan.
